WCAG Contrast Assessment
Accessible color pairings establish transparent structures.
This display preview shows how your selected text color maps onto the background canvas. In Web accessibility rules, contrast is key. If the ratio is too low, text fades out and becomes difficult to scan.

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) specify that text must have sufficient contrast against its background. Level AA requires a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text, while Level AAA requires a ratio of at least 7:1 for optimal readability.
Background colors set the tone. Pure white backgrounds can cause eye strain; slightly off-white, beige, or paper tones (like cream or warm white) reduce glare. Dark mode requires dark charcoal or deep gray backgrounds instead of pure black for similar readability comfort.
It parses the hex colors of the text and background, converts them into relative luminance (based on the red, green, and blue sRGB coefficients), and computes the ratio: (L1 + 0.05) / (L2 + 0.05) where L1 is the lighter color.
